I have the privilege of working my dream - making computer games of very high quality. I run a studio called Image & Form in rainy, windy Gothenburg, Sweden. Since we have approximately 20 seconds of sunlight over the course of the year, Swedes don't mind spending time in-house making computer games.

As of December 2013, Image & Form has made two noteworthy games since 2011 (and a whole slew not quite as noteworthy), namely Anthill for iOS/Android and SteamWorld Dig for 3DS/PC/Mac/Linux. Anthill was selected by Apple as Game of the Week at launch and nominated for a couple of GOTY awards at Nordic Games in 2012. SteamWorld Dig has been nominated for - and has received - a number of GOTY awards worldwide 2013. I&F is a mid-size setup with about a dozen hard-working, lovely, friendly people, each and one of them with whom I'd trust my wallet and savings at any given moment.

I'm married (sorry girls), live in beautiful Jonsered, the proud father of three wonderful children, and a bonus father of an additional two. A sucker for karaoke whenever given the opportunity, I sing in two bands and play at least one hour of chess every day.

Darn, I always seem to comment on these things when it 's too late. You guys are great and an inspiration - can 't wait to get started on many of the games. Would have loved to see one of Simogo 's titles on this list. Either Year Walk my ...

Christian, this is the second love letter we get from you readers: see link above in the article text about SteamWorld Dig for the first one . Well, we love you too, brother. : Thanks for seeing the game for what it really is - a homage to great concepts ...
